Single Ladies

Previously on Single Ladies...

He's my professor.

Looks like you were getting some serious extra credit.

If he doesn't finish an album in two months, you're out the

door with him.

Are you high?

What is your deal?

I can't rush into anything, especially anything physical.

This is the south.

It's easy to go slow.

Cam'ron was wearing one of my pieces, and somebody jacked him.

Stealing his watch has been on my conscience ever since I

took it.

I think it's time that I come clean with him.

Well, as a matter of fact, I did--I slept with my college

roommate val.

Jerry, thank you again.

I had so much fun with you this weekend.

Trust me, I needed to get away.

Darling, any time you need to get away, even without me,

you have carte blanche on my jet.

Okay? Just let me know.

I keep waiting for someone to pinch me and tell me that you

are just a dream.

I promise you I'm real.

As was Las Vegas.

Thank you for trusting me enough to go away with me this weekend.

No. Thank you for being a complete gentleman.

It's rare for me to meet a woman these days who...Wants to

take the time to get to know a man.

I respect you for that.

I also respect the fact that it's 3:00 a. M., and I'm going to

continue to be a gentleman and let you get some sleep, so...

I'll call you tomorrow.

I can only hope.

Good night.

Good night.

Val?

You up?

Mm.

I am now.

Did you have fun in Vegas?

I had the best time.

Oh... Jerry has a beautiful house there.

He cooked for me all weekend long.

Treated me like a queen.

And to top it off... We slept in separate bedrooms.

Mm-hmm.

The man is classy.

Wow. I'm really glad you had a good time and that you're in

a good place.

Mm-hmm.

Because while you were gone, there were some... Developments.

What kind?

No way!

Oh, my God!

How did they trace this back to me?

There are a million Vals in the world!

She could have been talking about anyone.

Yeah, well, she wasn't.

Remember now... You're in a good place.

Right.

Where did you get that from?

We just have to call the website, and we tell them they

have to take it down.

Good luck.

Because it's on Google.

These pictures--they have all been photoshopped.

I haven't spoken to or seen Sharon in years!

Okay, first things first.

Is it true?

Did you do the dirty dirty with Sharon love?

Kinda.

I mean a little.

Ooh!

Yes. But it was just one time.

We were in college.

And we were both drunk.

It just...Happened.

Oh, my God!

Oh! What am I gonna tell my mother?

Just tell her the truth.

You're gay.

Oh, my God.

Reed.

Reed!

What?

Oh, April, hey.

Have you been here all night?

What time is it?

9:00.

In the morning?

I was supposed to just take a nap.

I set my phone-- where's my phone?

Did you get any work done?

Did you work on that new song?

I started to, but I don't know, I wasn't feeling it so I

called a couple chicks over here to help me get motivated.

That didn't answer my question.

No, April, I didn't.

It's not the end of the world.

No, you're right.

The world is safe.

Just not so sure about your career.

If you could focus for a couple of months, stop partying and

drinking long enough to finish your debut album, you might

actually debut.

Then, you know, stop putting me with these producers that

don't get me.

Put me with hit makers like Timbaland or Pharrell...Rodney

jerkins.

Hell, even Max Martin.

I agree.

You should be working with some of the best producers, but

they're expensive.

And you've already blown through the money that Wes gave you up

front, so...We're kinda working on favors right now, you know?

Trying to pull out a miracle.

Wes listens to you.

Maybe you could get him to release some of the money I get

on the back end?

I tried that... And the stapler he threw at me is still

stuck in the wall.

Oh... okay.

I'm about to do something that's going to turn out to be either

really stupid or absolutely brilliant.

What?

I have a little money of my own that I am willing to invest

in you.

If I get you a heavyweight producer, you have to promise

you won't screw me.

Reed, look at me.

I'm serious.

You'd do that for me?

We've already gone over this.

It's for me.

I love you.

Get to work.

Okay, what about Angelina Jolie?

I know she's tiny, but those big sexy eyes and lips make up for

it.

Naomi Campbell's pretty.

Or what about Carmen Electra?

She's still hot.

Salma Hayek?

J.Lo?

Come on, val.

We're just trying to get a feel for your taste.

I like men.

It's Halle, ain't it?

I don't blame you.

Halle's fine.

She could get it...All of it.

You guys must not like being employed, because you're really

poking the tiger.

Val, for the record, I think you and Eva Longoria will make a

cute couple.

This is nuts.

Do you know how many phone calls I'm getting from old friends and

family members saying that they already knew and it's about time

that I came out of the closet?

Well, you are in your 30s.

You're still single.

You've never been married.

You also don't have any kids.

And don't forget, you live with a beautiful, voluptuous woman.

Who's also single.

And who also doesn't have kids.

Huh.

I do have a gay-looking life.

If I were gay, I would just say so.

I mean, what's the big deal?

I had that same revelation three days ago.

Hey, val.

How long has it been, ten years?

I don't know whether to strangle you or hug you.

What were you thinking saying my name on the air like that?

I was thinking my mic was off.

Girl, I been trying to find you ever since.

But I lost your number three phones ago.

I'm so sorry.

Anyway, this whole thing has been a nightmare for the both of us.

Ha.

For me, the timing couldn't be worse.

I just got my own national talk show.

Congratulations!

That's great!

Yeah, it was great until this whole thing scared corporate.

They a bunch of conservative old guys who're giving me the blues

because they didn't buy "a gay Sharon love."

They don't want any controversy.

Excuse me, val.

Would you like to join us, since you're listening anyway?
